Salesman replied great no problem I will just check availibility.
Sorry we don't have any of the camera kit you want and we also don't have any of the laptop apart from the showroom model (which I was NOT going to take as they have it set up with all the laptops on a large table/stand and they are on 24/7 and had no heat protection. I picked up the display one and it was soo hot underneath I hate to think what that was doing to the laptop. Plus it was shop soiled and looked rather shabby.)
I asked him to check other branches and there was 3 showing 1 each (also display he said). So I asked if he could get one direct from the manufacture - he replied " Sorry no, we have had 2 on order since Feb and looks like we won't ever see those, sorry."
As for the camera kit he said he could place an order Monday and should have the kit in a week or so.....
I have quite a specific list of requirements for my new laptop and this one fitted it perfect! I did have another option - a Sony Vaio but it was over a week wait so I chose this other option instead as it had the same specs mostly and HN had it - apparently!!
So I left pretty pissed off as those new toys were going to brighten my weekend (Its been overcast here for over a week and raining an awful lot, plus I have been quite sore the past couple of days with my hip).
I have a copy of their new mailer and it has the laptop I wanted and the camera ( plus another laptop I asked them to check for and also didn't have with none in the country) and I think that's false advertising - Our store here is pretty big and I expect them to stock what is in the mailer..... GRRRRR
I have now gone back to my Original laptop I was looking at;
Sony Vaio in Lizard Pink! Which you can get from Bond & Bond & Noel Leeming's so if I am feeling not too sore in the morning I will go down and see who has the better deal :)
As for the camera kit, well that's going on hold as I have lost my motivation after today.
I think I have vented enough on that subject!!

I HATE Harvey Norman! I have never found any of their Christchurch staff to be particularly helpful and have always had trouble getting a good cash deal out of them. Their financing sux with huge interest rates! I much prefer Noel Leeming or Bond & Bond. GE finance generally offer an interest-free period and Noel Leeming has flybuys so if you spend a lot you get lots of points :-) The pink lappy looks cool! Hamish says they are well constructed compared to something like the cheapy Dell ones :-) I hope you get your toys soon! Sorry to hear you are sore :-(
